DIY for Auto, Home, RV and Home Improvement. On this channel I work all sorts of projects around the house ranging from Automotive, RV/Camper stuff to home repair and renovation to everything in between. I don't like to spend a lot of money so I usually try to find ways to repurpose / recycle things that would of usually be thrown away.
I will also take on projects that I think are pretty much just something to do because I can :)
And remeber you're not cheap, you're thrifty!

Installing Electric fans on 1998 OBS Chevy Silverado
It was time to get rid of the mechanical fan on my old Chevy Silverado and install Electric Fans! Going Electric!. So, I picked up a set of fans with aluminum shroud from eBay for a couple bucks. This is a Dual Fan setup with 2 x 14 inch fans the pull about 3400 CFM through the radiator. The fans are actually from AllowWorksPlus.com, the link is below. This project is pretty simple to do and really doesn't cost that much!

Square Body Door Hinges, Adjustment and the Hidden Bolt!
มุมมอง 3882 หลายเดือนก่อน
I needed to replace the passenger side door on an 84 Chevy Square body. I briefly go over how the hinges allow for the adjustment and how to get access to the hidden bolt that comes from inside the cab. This only goes over the passenger side. But yes, you will need to remove some dash components for the driver's side to get to the hidden bolt. Time? This can take 10 minutes or 10 hours; it real...
DIY Lawn Stripe Kit. Under 15 Bucks
มุมมอง 9445 หลายเดือนก่อน
I purchased a new mower this year and my driver complained that the mower didn't leave stripes as well as the last one. There may be something to that, but I wasn't about to spend 150 bucks on the actual kit for my mower. So, I built the stripe kit out of a strip of rubber and a piece of Aluminum flat bar for under 15 bucks! You could also easily use 1/8th x 1inch flat bar steel. I just happen ...
Remove Chrome From Aluminum Rims / Wheels, with a sandblaster.
มุมมอง 6K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
I found some old rims on Facebook for a couple bucks. The rims were Chrome over Aluminum. Unfortunately, like most chrome rims in my area, they started to peel, and when they do there is really nothing that you can do about it. So, I decided to remove the Chrome from the Rims with a Cheap Harbor Freight Sandblaster. To do this better, you should probably find a blasting cabinet but... I didn't ...

I diagnosed and replaced a bad wiper motor on a 1984 GMC High Sierra / c10 Square Body. I actually end up taking the cowl off to get to the spray nozzles so I could open them up and widen the holes a tad. Possibly a Tad too much but it's better than not having enough. I even came up with a custom temporary/permanent tank for the windshield washer fluid. "There's too much washer fluid coming out...
How to Tune Up your Lawn Mower in 15 Minutes!
มุมมอง 768 หลายเดือนก่อน
I purchased a Lawn Mower Tune up kit from Amazon for a little over 20 bucks. It comes with Oil, Air, Fuel filters and 2 new NGK spark plugs. This is a pretty good deal given the price of spark plugs alone. The oil doesn't come with the kit and can be purchased locally. The entire process only takes about 15 minutes. Most of that is just letting the old oil drain! Depending on how much you use y...
Replace Wheel Bearings / Bushings on a Riding Mower in 5 minutes!

How to quick and easily replace worn out wheel bushing on a riding mower. I actually upgraded the bushing to sealed bearings while I was at it. I even replaced the wheels and tires with new ones. After looking at the price it was cheaper to just replace the entire wheel with the tire on it. Plus it saved me a lot of time. The new Wheels even come with the bushings pre-installed so if you are no...

Best MAN CAVE Dart Board Setup (Cabinet Build and Scoring App)

I had some down time so I decided to replace my sad dart setup with the ultimate Steel Tip Dart Setup I could. I built the backdrop out of old distressed wood fence pickets. The Dartboard itself was upgraded for an old Cork board to a newer style Bristle board. The bristle board has smaller score area dividers, so the darts rarely bounce off. The cabinet was made from regular white pine. I adde...
How to Easily Install Door Springs on a GM Vehicle using the Door Spring Compressor Tool! 88-98 OBS
มุมมอง 1.2Kปีที่แล้ว
This is a quick video where I show you just how easy it is to install door springs on a 88-98 OBS Chevy truck, using a Door Spring Compressor Dool. This is probably similar to a o lot of other makes and models. I've seen a bunch of ways showing you how to do with using a C clamp or a vice, but they are kind of sketchy.

It’s not worth the time you put into this rims not at all but to each it own
Nope, it wasn't. I totally agree. It was more of a "can I do this" not should I do this :)
What size hose is the mixing and discharge?
I'm going off of memory because everything is covered in snow, but I believe its 1 inch for the recirculation. I would oversize those to 2 inches if I did it again and just throttle on the valve. Also helps prevent clogs. I haven't had any clogs but I could see it would be possible and a PITA. The discharge is 2 inch. Throttle with a 1 inch output valve.
I thought I was so out of luck. This works like a charm! Thanks.
You're welcome! Glad it helped!
Good
Nice job bro! What media did you use?
Menards carries a few different ones, I think this was actually a mix of the black blast from tech mix and some multi purpose utility sand. not to mention any garbage that I swept off the concrete that made it through my screed. :)
Your hood light works like my old android phone charger
You were so close to greatness. Then you ruined it with that strap on sticker.
lol, Its a magnet. I can change it.
No way, that made the whole thing. It’s like irony
I didnt know different slots are there
just bougt a truck that looks exsacly the same but tan same rust same spots glad i can fix it
The body rust is usually the same, but keep an eye on the frame. They get weak on these. Bad Steel I guess....
@jrsprojects786 surprisingly the frame is good
Brake line sprung a leak overnight so turned to YT. This is by far the best how-to, and why, double flare vid. Many thanks.
Glad it helped
I think it looks great. Thanks got posting. Im planning on going this to my truck.
I think the color matched looks way better than the black plastic. but, do what ya can!
@jrsprojects786 I finished up the project this past weekend. It turned out great. Thanks for the video. It really inspired me to fix it
new work any better?
It actually did improve the reception quite a bit. It would pick up more channels and the channels the previous one picked up that were weak had a better signal strength.
We'll done! Explains a lot!
thanks.
Shim it when it's up, shim it when it's down, you know the rest.
Shims are necessary evils on these old squares.
It really took 2 minutes, it was helpful and save time to the bike shop and money.
i run 4 tier cabinet and fits 2 ft pipe wrench just fine lots of mods to do
Skys the limit.
Looks good at 55mph!
Exactly
Do you ever trip your circuit breakers? It seems 4 burners going past 400 degrees in a big oven would draw a lot of amps. By the way awesome build, thank you for taking the time to make your videos.
Sry, late response. I have not tripped a breaker yet.
Looks great
thanks.
Nice work buddy
thank you.
Is that a 1/4" hose? If so you are only blasting at around 2-4 cfm. You need at-least 12 to blast, 200 cfm you would be rocking....
I know. I'm not 100% sure where the perfect cfm is on this. I've tried using an industrial blaster, it works, but it's pretty aggressive and you have to keep moving.
@@jrsprojects786 Jet size + PSI setting determines your cfm, which in turn determines speed. By choosing less aggressive media, high flow rate and low psi you can be gentle but work fast.
Thank you sir, we'll done
thank you.
Subtítulos en spanish
done!
There are other additional tricks. Get a long pressure treated 2x4, depending on the length of your deck and do a V-brace across the joists starting from the house opening the V put. Also, bracing your post 1/3 the height of the post would have added a lot more stability. At the end, if an elephant walks thro tour deck, all bets might be off (😅).
lol
Should I use a double flare for gas connections?
Depends on the Pressure but more than likely a single flare would probably work, but to play it safe if in doubt use a double. That said I used to do single flares on my brakes when I was a kid because I didn't know any better, and they held. but Double if any doubt.
So, Wisconsin, Minnesota, or Illinois
you went right around me. Iowa.
@@jrsprojects786 No kidding, me to. Central
what a wonderful channel! This is the only one that breaks it down into steps and shows what it looks like. I borrowed my grandsons flaring tool and made my first double flare justs for the fun of it!
Thank you.
When you drove the new bearings in with the socket and hammer, did you put any grease on the outside of bearings before hand to make them go in easier? Or do you put them in dry?
Dry. Its friction fit.
Thanks for the vid, and time it took to make it bud. Hydro seeding is expensive in Aus. I too am building one, so your tips and design have supported my back of a beer coaster design, and encouraged me by seeing yours actually work. Thanks and good job 👍
Np.
Good shit brah 💪
Thanks great info 👍
Love the stripes! Make a yard look like you actually care about it.

Funny, "Where's Fifi?"
Soak them in concentrated degreaser, and or ultrasonic parts cleaner. Takes 10 min. My hobby is making lincoln wheel center caps look new again from the junk yard and resell them.
that sounds like a sweet idea. How big of parts cleaner do you have? would rims fit?
Fantastic!
What’s up brother I got me a 74 squarebody and the same thing happened to me but when I tried to tighten the bolts back up with the shims I had marked them like you did here 5:02 and the rear passenger bolt had moved as I tightened it , you think it’s the lock nut that needs replacement?
I would replace the lock nuts regardless. The bigger issue I have is those studs are about junk. So I'm gonna have to dive deeper soon
Looks easy.
very easy
I have a similar truck so I was looking for videos to basically do the same thing. And I just wanna throw this in the middle. I have one of the roughest days ever never related to the truck. I ran across this video and I laughed so hard. My stomach hurt. I had tears in my eyes. keep making videos. I will follow like all of them carefree living life to the fullest thanks man.
Right on
Enjoyed!!!
Thanks for watching
Loved seeing our family vehicles 🥹
U made the show!
Thanks for the shot of my fire truck
Huge turn out! I don't think there was a vehicle that I didn't like. Which one was yours?
This was a great show had a great time all weekend
GoodGuys do a good job bringing it all together.
Thanks bud
No problem 👍
Linn County huh? I live in Benton County and want to build this exact thing.
Yup, good of CR.
Do you have a video from making the trashcan one you used previously? I don't need one as big as your upgrade.
I do not. It did use the same motor, pump and agitators, The Hole was in the bottom instead of the side but everything else was the same. I used Bulk Head fitting for the pipes to go through the bottom and sides of the garbage can. The entire thing was actually build on top of an old Corn hole board. the garbage can was raised about 8 inches up on a small platform that I built and was held down by ratchet straps.
Thank you for layman's talk.....
